Force / Summer

SCYSA's Force program fields teams that participate in highly-competitive softball tournaments during the summer. Force provides a great opportunity for young girls and women in the 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U divisions who love softball and would like to extend their skills beyond the spring season.
While the Spring season emphasizes player development and having fun in a recreational league, the Force Program focuses on fielding more highly competitive teams while maintaining a balance with softball skill development, personal development and having fun.

The Force season runs from early May through late July and varies by team and age division. Coaches will be able to provide additional details regarding anticipated practice and game schedules after teams are formed. Below is a list of tournaments by division that we are signed up for.
Participation Fees and Uniforms
Base registration fee details are noted below for each team. Fees are established to cover (1) uniforms, (2) tournament registration fees, (3) equipment, and (4) field use costs and insurance.

Players are expected to attend all practices and games and should communicate any conflicts to coaches early in the season. Playing time may be impacted for players that don't regularly attend practices.
Playing time during the Force season is not guaranteed and coaches will make roster and line-up decisions that best equip the team to compete in tournament games while placing an emphasis on development, sportsmanship, and commitment to team activities. Participating families will be expected to commit to the majority of practices and tournaments throughout the summer.

SCYSA Summer Force Program Overview

The Force program for San Carlos Youth Softball is designed to field teams to participate in competitive USA and/or AST softball tournaments throughout the summer season, which typically runs from late May through late July/early August. The summer program involves traveling to cities throughout the Bay Area (and beyond) and competing in our host tournament, the Jan Macpherson Tournament over the Memorial Day weekend. Highly competitive and successful teams have the privilege of representing their league and city in the USA Softball Regional Championships.
As with all SCYSA programs, the Force program focuses on developing both softball and life skills for the young women of our league. Particular emphasis is placed on sportsmanship and fair play through pursuing victory with honor. Success is measured not only with on-field results but in the lasting impression that our coaches and players make on each other and the other cities in which we compete, resulting in the continued participation of our players in SCYSA.
Shout out to 10U-C for a great showing at NorCal Championships
